Bolton also serves as an executive producer on the Sony Pictures Television series, which owns the Dating Game format, with Charles Wachter Christina Kline and Wendi Wan also producing. The original The Dating Game ran on ABC from 1965 to 1973. Though it was primarily for civilians, it did showcase some well-known figures — Sally Field, Ron Howard and, in one particularly misguided effort, Dusty Springfield — as well as a few celebrities (Farrah Fawcett) before they were famous.
